1.45 Lingfield – Download The At The Races App Handicap Chase: A Clash of Titans
The third race at Lingfield presents a fascinating head-to-head between two rising stars: Vision De Maine and Aworkinprogress. Vision De Maine, trained by David Pipe, has shown remarkable aptitude for fences, winning both starts with ease. While an 8lb rise for his recent course and distance victory will present a challenge, his performance under jockey Jack Tudor makes him a strong contender. His potential to overcome this weight increase will be key to victory.
Aworkinprogress, a significant threat, boasts a winning fencing debut at Stratford. The crucial factor here will be his ability to adapt to the quicker conditions at Lingfield. The proven form of Aworkinprogress from Stratford makes him a formidable opponent. Alex Hales’ Has Troke, a Newcastle novice handicap chase winner, also warrants close attention on his return to racing this season.
2.55 Lingfield – Sky Sports Racing Virgin 535 Novices’ Hurdle: Redknapp’s The Two Harrys in Action
The name Harry Redknapp is becoming increasingly prominent in jumps racing, and his horse, The Two Harrys (trained by Harry Derham), will be competing in the Sky Sports Racing Virgin 535 Novices’ Hurdle. While his previous performance at Wincanton was promising, he needs to show significant improvement from his last outing at Warwick to be competitive.
This race also features several promising horses. De Kingpin, a half-brother to accomplished stayers Sizing Tennessee and Mount Ida, has shown considerable promise under Ben Pauling’s training. Miller Spirit, a former 97-rated flat performer, has enjoyed a remarkable winning streak this summer, triumphing five times between May and October. His transition to hurdling will be closely watched, especially with Niall Houlihan in the saddle. French Emperor, a recent purchase for £76,000, will make his rules debut for Nicky Martin and Sam Twiston-Davies, adding another layer of intrigue to the competition.
